How it is calculated

  • Fare reimbursement = lower of (actual fare, entitled-class fare) × travellers
  • Leave encashment = (Basic + DA) ÷ 30 × days (up to 10 days)
  • Air tickets on LTC must be bought from the authorised agents; no mileage points are generated.
  • Always confirm entitled class for your pay level with your office.

Worked example

Example (the default inputs): 4 travellers, ₹6,000 paid per person, entitled-class fare ₹5,000, 10 days of leave encashment, Basic + DA ₹60,000. Fare reimbursed: ₹5,000 × 4 = ₹20,000. Leave encashment: ₹60,000 ÷ 30 × 10 = ₹20,000. Total ₹40,000. The ₹4,000 paid above entitlement is not reimbursed.
